Just had a look at the Liverpool forum and I honestly can't believe it. 

 

For a club who's fan base is so proudly socialist, that the can't spot capitalism when they see it. 

 

They truly believe that this is Liverpool trying to help put the little guy and save the day!

The terms would not be able to be changed within an initial period (say 10 years and even then not without an independent panel judging it fair or alternatively with full premier league support to make a change) 

 

they wouldn’t have any chance at all of getting it though if were amendable 

 

 

How do you know this. Is it a fact or an assumption?

It won’t happen, but the FA and Prem League need to grow some balls and put these money grabbers in their fcuking place.

If they want a Euro Super League then fcuk them off and don’t allow them into any English competitions or back when they finish near the bottom each year.

The scum of English Football, if this fails the rest of the clubs should let them know on match days greedy bastards.

 

It’s such a shame there’s no crowds at present, it would be great to have a coordinated effort for every game 

against Liverpool and ManU for opposing fans to just chant willy pullers for 90mins (or 100mins if ManU are losing).:D

The irony.

 

The current story on The Anfield Wrap is.......

 

Gareth Roberts is joined by Lizzi Doyle, Siobhan Biggane and Phil Blundell to assess the state of play around the top six contenders with the focus on Chelsea, Everton and Leicester City…

You just couldn`t  make this stuff up  lol

apologies if already posted

Just saw this on Twitter, honestly ridiculous. Conveniently some other aspects happen to benefit the big 6 with new grounds or extensions. Just keeps getting more and more laughable

What's more laughable is some of that money will be earned but the other 11 without them benefiting.

 

They seem oblivious to the fact that there'd be no PL without those 11, well a very much reduced one. and that their revenues depend on having other teams to beat.

 

Would they have the same world wide audience with a PL of 9 teams?

The "top 6" are just very aware that a lot of "smaller" are starting to catch up on and off the pitch. Just take the start of this season for example. It's been chaos in terms of results and they don't like it. For me, this just an attempt to slow that process down. They have thrown their dummies out of the pram because they're not getting their own way anymore, simple as that.

Horrible proposal. The Premier League is the top league in the world because many teams can win the title. Nobody watches football in Germany or Italy because we know before the first ball is kicked that Bayern and Juventus will win. There's nothing to watch.

 

"Project Big Picture" will concentrate power in the hands of a few clubs and make England more like Italy and Germany. That would be so sad.

 

At that point the only competition left is MLS. Yawn.

We don’t want too many Leicester Citys.”

These were the words spoken by a senior figure from the Premier League’s ‘big six’ clubs, in the kind of high-end London hotel you can easily imagine.

“Football history suggests fans like big teams winning,” the official continued, to the group of business people and media figures present. “A certain amount of unpredictability is good, but a more democratic league would be bad for business.”

Exactly whose business would it be bad for? And why is football even viewed that way? The answers are among the biggest problems for the game right now.

That was the quote which confirmed to me that it was effectively dead as a sport. I mean you all realise it but at different points but it was from that comment, from someone who actually holds some power in the game that you know it's probably beyond repair.

I read a quote today today, that stated 75% of EFL clubs were losing money before Covid 19, so they need this deal to go through. 
 

If that’s the case, they’re just bad business firstly and need to learn to live within means. Being propped up by the Premier League doesn’t cover the short comings that the football club is being run like a corner shop. If you can’t afford something, don’t buy / pay for it. Do some proper budgeting / financial planning. I appreciate that Covid has exasperated this situation.  
 

If I started a business which is an online auction, I don’t go cap in hand to eBay, when I’m losing money trying to compete with them.

I get your point and I agree it should be all about financial prudence, but when has football been about being solvent?  We as Leicester fan's can't moan about other clubs being in debt, when it has happened to ourselves.  We go into adminstration and then pay our debtors something like a penny in the pound, then we proceed to get promoted, which p****d off a lot of clubs and fans: hence we had a change of rules in the EFL.  Look at this forum over the summer when the club didn't get its chequebook out straight away, a few were complaining that we didn't buy this and that player, watch Arsenal fan TV and they are always urging their club to splash the cash.  If I was to own a business, football would be the last choice, but If I was super rich I would buy Leicester city 'toute de suite' and splash the cash.....that's football logic!

The concern shouldn’t be about project big picture but more to do with what will actually come from this (project little picture).  it may well have a strongly negative impact on our ability to compete for european qualification-

 

I suspect what will gain traction is the idea that all prem clubs give up 25% of their tv income to support the pyramid - it’s attractive to the masses and is difficult to argue against from a fairness perspective. But it will have a disproportionate affect on us compared to the big clubs and also those ‘comparable’ clubs with a larger fanbase and commercial revenue.   

we would argue against it but the response of govt and football in general would be that you can’t argue against everything and something has to be done.
